it will also speed things up if you email or post a sketch that fails and explain how to make it fail.

Thanks

pls see my previous but one post requesting a simple example project demonstrating the issue and explain how to reproduce.

Thanks

i don't know how to reproduce it. currently this only happens with my current project. this is also the only project I was working on for a long time.

during ongoing programming the following behaviours occur (alternating):

- only release mode (and arduino ide) compile works
- only debug mode (and arduino ide) compile works
- only arduino ide compile works

by "works" i mean that no unexpected wifi connection things occur (like constantly reconnecting or losing connection when receiving data).

i guess the BIN files are always different, with every sketch, if they are linked together differently by vsmicro than the arduino ide does.

shall I send you my monsterious project? it is about 4000 lines of code and you'd have to acknowledge via mail that you won't redistribute or reuse it without my explicit permission...

Those conditions are accepted and always apply to any code that I am sent

I think there is a little confusion. The settings you choose in Visual Micro have no impact on the Arduino IDE. It always compiles the same way and does not know about Visual Micro or Visual Studio.

Questions

I think it should be safe to assume that the Arduino IDE is always working and that build and upload via Visual Micro is always a problem from a network dropping perspective?

Out of interested I assume you have checked that the options on the vMicro menu below the list of boards are the same as are selected in the arduino ide?

Can you confirm how you have configured Visual Micro for network OTA upload to the esp8266? You are selecting an IP address? 

Are you using the esp8266 Arduino OTA system? 

Did you read the lower part of this page and does it look like what you have been doing or have you been using apple bonjour?

Thanks

ok, then I'll send the code to you shortly.

no confusion, I know that the settings have no impact on the arduino ide. that description was referring to my code, to outline that the arduino ide compilation always works so that it is unlikely that i have some coding error which causes this behaviour.

yes, that is correct. however, sometimes debug OR release mode works, as I change my code during development. currently only arduino IDE works.

yes, the settings are all the same. MHz, Board, SPIFFS size, ...

I'm not using any of that. I'm using the Webupdater form which is provided by ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.h (included in the ESP8266 board package). you include that, do
Code (C++)
Select All
ESP8266WebServer Webserver(80);
ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer httpUpdater;
 

and

Code (C++)
Select All
httpUpdater.setup(&Webserver);

and you're good to go. just browse /update and you'll be presented a form where you can upload your bin file.

Okay I have only ever tried the OTA for upload. I prefer to press F5 and see build + upload. It's really quick.

I think you certainly need to stay away from debug mode because you are controlling the upload process.

I will try to see if I can get your code working over the next few days.

After your code is uploaded what do you do to replicate the issue?

uploading via the web form is considerably faster than serial and I didn't want to mess around with mdns or anything else that constantly is somehow listening and/or wrapping serial output to some ip stack.

that little web form is resting in the program until it is needed (that means, until i browse the url /update) and doesn't take any computing resources.

after the code is uploaded, it doesn't matter what i do. the vmicro serial monitor is opened all the time but it also doesn't matter if I power cycle the board or power it from an external power supply, entirely without any connection to the computer. if the issue is there, it persists. no speical steps needed to reproduce it.

I only asked about the serial monitor when I thought you were using serial upload.

The OTA upload is the same speed as the web upload.

did you have any success in finding the issue or are you still having fun with my horrible code?  Grin

thanks!

Sorry for the delay. The November release might have resolved this issue otherwise I will look into it over the next few weeks.

You can use file>preferences>external editor in the arduino ide which allows edit in VS and upload via Arduino with auto detect changes
